Abstract (en)

There is provided a semiconductor memory device for preventing an increase of a cell area of a Shadow RAM comprising a portion of an SRAM memory cell and a ferroelectric capacitor connected to a storage node of the portion of the SRAM memory cell and achieving high capacitance formation of a storage capacitor. The Shadow RAM is provided with a relay wiring layer between a wiring layer corresponding to the storage node and a lower electrode of the ferroelectric capacitor, a wiring corresponding to the storage node is connected to a relay wiring via a first and a second opening portion arranged at a first interval and the lower electrode of the ferroelectric capacitor is connected to a relay wiring via a third and a fourth opening portion arranged at a second interval narrower than the first interval. <IMAGE>
